Abstract (en)

[origin: US2010127851A1] A dishwashing appliance console assembly and associated apparatus are provided. The console assembly comprises a control device arrangement, including a control actuator having an associated indicia, and a light emitting element that is de-actuated when the door assembly is in the closed position, and actuated when the door assembly is pivoted from the closed position. The light emitting element communicates with a light diffuser member, and the emitted light interacts therewith to illuminate the indicia associated with the control actuator. A console cover member at least partially covers the control device arrangement and facilitates interaction with the control actuator therethrough. The console cover member is configured such that the light from the diffuser member illuminating the indicia is non-specifically directed therethrough. The console cover member is substantially opaque when the light emitting element is de-actuated, and at least partially translucent when the light emitting element is actuated.
